I see two potential issues:

1) too many threads within milter-greylist, and it's impossible to grab
the lock and reload the config file before 2 minutes

2) too many processes on the system, and milter-greylist waits 2 minutes
for being schedules

I'll assume you are in the first situation. How to handle it properly? 
If you kill the sendmail instances that are talking to a client, what happens?
